SkyTEM Aerial Survey Confirms Prospective Nickel-Copper-PGE targets at the Coates Project

Charger Metals NL (ASX: CHR) ( "Charger" or" the Company") is pleased to advise the market of results of its recent SkyTEM geophysical survey completed over much of the Coates Ni-Cu Au-PGE Project, which is located approximately 60km north-east of Perth WA.


Highlights

     
  • Interpretation of preliminary data has delineated 22 targets indicative of potential sulphide conductors.
  • Target T1 is a cluster of excellent conductors striking over 1,500m and closely related to weakly magnetic horizons of the Coates mafic intrusive complex.
  • The northern end of the T1 target correlates with anomalous Ni-Cu-Au-PGE1 values in regolith geochemistry samples.

The Company acquired 70% of the Coates Project from Lithium Australia NL (ASX: LIT) and 85% of the Coates North Project from Mercator Metals Pty Ltd (Refer to Table 1). The Coates Project has an area of 47km2.

The survey was jointly flown for Charger and adjacent tenement holder, Australian Vanadium Ltd (ASX: AVL) by SkyTEM Australia Pty Ltd.

Charger's Managing Director, David Crook commented:

"The results of the helicopter EM survey, coupled with the pre-existing geochemistry, provides the Company with excellent, very clear targets for the next phase of detailed fieldwork, as we move towards drilling."

Charger's Geophysical Consultant, Bill Peters of Southern Geoscience Consultants noted: 

"Target T1 within Charger's tenements consists of several excellent conductors striking over 1,500m and closely related to weakly magnetic horizons.

Ekin Ober on Why AI Could Be Mining’s Most Valuable Tool Yet

For Ekin Ober, bringing generative artificial intelligence (AI) to the critical metals sector through her work at Aethos Labs wasn’t just about technological innovation — it reshaped how she thinks about strategy and sustainability in mining.

Now a principal at Kinterra Capital, Ober applies that broad, cross-disciplinary lens to investment decisions, emphasizing the importance of digital fluency, stakeholder alignment and long-term viability.

Her experience helps her identify operational bottlenecks and social license challenges early — essential in guiding assets like nickel and copper projects from concept to production.

Chris Berry: The West Must Invest in Refinement Now or Fall Further Behind

China’s grip on the battery metals sector has drawn increasing scrutiny in recent years as nations confront growing concerns around supply chain risk and resource security.

Through a blend of domestic output and aggressive overseas investment, particularly in Africa and South America, Chinese companies now command a significant share of upstream supply.

The country is responsible for roughly 60 percent of global rare earths production and controls over 70 percent of cobalt supply through its stakes in mines across the Democratic Republic of Congo.
